This is supposed to be the same Lucas that got hungover at a high school jock party btw
#bringing this back because WHAT DO YOU MEAN#they were literally just kids and it drives me insane#they weren't adults#they were kids#and Joe and Maya are amazing I would never want different actors but they don't look like teenagers#so it's easy to forget how horrifying the implications of this show are#also I'm in a bit of a fragile state so these pictures are making me cry because they're MY AGE I don't feel like an adult I can't imagine#something like that happening to my friends I would kill

being sick & miserable objectively sucks, but it has become significantly easier to cope with since learning that “sickness behavior” is a well documented part of the body’s immune response

feeling not only physically but also emotionally like fucking garbage is unfortunately an extremely effective way to force your body to prioritize fighting infection & keeping you alive. i don’t have to like it, but knowing why i get weepy & pathetic when sick does help at least a little

My theory here is that Dustin thought something happened to Steve (like Eddie) and this is when he finds him alive.

Of course I trust him. That’s why I’m here, because I need his opinion just as badly as I needed my mother’s opinion.

no but. THIS is why lucas is so good for max. because instead of blaming her for being upset, or treating her badly, he approaches his parents (a happily married couple) and asks honestly how to handle the situation. because he is so earnest and good and he wants to show max she can trust him. lucas is a goddamn king and we don't talk about it enough
#stranger things#Very quickly rising in the ranks of favorite character#He had so much depth to his character#He’s sarcastic he’s snarky he’s suspicious#But he’s also the most emotionally mature empathetic and communicative person in the party#Or at least one of#Reading Lucas on the line rn and I want to cry bc of how sweetly he thinks of max#He just wants everyone to be okay#And his girlfriend died in his arms#Hoping that we get insight into the fallout of that night with max in his character arc the same way we’ve been promised that with Dustin#And eddie#lucas sinclair

i know so many of us have seen the set photos from the epilogue by now, but my sister pointed out something to me that i hadnt thought of
sometimes shows like to film multiple endings, or film scenes they know theyll never use, to prevent leaks like those from spoiling the ending of the show. apparently this is something Eastenders did loads when there was a big plot line coming to an end (a popular british soap opera). so now part of me is hesitant to fully believe leaked set photos.
maybe its something 🤷🏼♀️ since its such a huge show, they wouldnt want things spoiled so easily. but idk, this is my way of trying to convince myself i havent had things spoiled for me lmao
#That would be crazy!! Kind of hoping so just bc I hate spoilers#But I’m also scared bc that would mean no plot armor

There’s a group of kids hanging around the pavilion downtown. Hopper notices it because it’s his job to notice stuff but that’s all he does.
He’s off duty. He’s with his kid.
What other people’s kids are getting up to is not his problem for the next two days.
“Don’t worry, I can ask,” He hears a recognizable voice ask and then a pull on his sleeve. 
He looks down to see Steve who looks back up at him, “Hi, Mr Hopper. Do you know what time the parade starts?”
Hopper does actually and tells the kid when he thinks the parade will roll through here. Steve thanks him and runs back over to the other kids.
That was a nice and simple conversation so why did he hear that kid say, “Oh, yeah. Thats Hopper. He’s always trying to be my friend. It’s weird.”
#Steve: Yeah he’s like obsessed with me or something. he always wants to talk to me#also Steve: *actively wishes Hopper was his dad*#Hopper is just like: …what the fuck.#also spmeone from this group of kids Steve soesnt usually hang around threw an egg at a clown#steve harrington#Jim hopper#<- prev tags#something very funny and endearing about these ficlets is the implication that they’ll meet in the middle at some point#Just saw a post where future Steve says that hopper adopted him when he was six#So now I’m hyper invested in five year old Steve and hopper’s interactions bc I’m hoping we’ll get to see that#I’m just like#get adopted nerd#Can’t wait#I love u btw

Fic where Eddie swears Hopper must have a sixth sense about him interacting with Steve. Every time he starts thinking that Steve’s questioning his sexuality enough to want to experiment, Hopper shows up and ruins the fun.
It gets to a point.
Eddie’s dealing out the back of Tina’s kitchen pantry and Steve is the only one in there with him, high and standing too close. He’s got a dream sort of cross-faded look to him and his eyes keep flickering to Eddie’s lips when - “Let’s break it up, boys.”
Hopper is standing in the now open doorway and Eddie blurts out his frustration like, “Stop being a cock block. I’m trying to get laid.”
“Dude,” Steve says. “That’s my dad.”
#and that is unfortunately how Eddie learns that Hopper adopted Steve when he was six#literally the fourth person in town to know#and the other three are Steve’s birth parents and Powell at the station#Steve’s tucking his hair behind his ear like: you really like me?#while Hopper is yanking him back by his collar because: no. not Munson#steve harrington#eddie munson#< prev tags#stranger things

steve joining one of hellfire's dnd campaigns but not as a player character, instead he roleplays a cursed amulet the party finds in an evil wizard's lair and he gets blanket discretion to sabotage whoever is holding/wearing the amulet, but THE PLAYERS DON'T KNOW THIS because obviously they'd just try to throw away or destroy it so steve sits next to eddie and pretends to read a book, occasionally leaning over to whisper "spider hallucination" when mike rolls a 3 on a perception check
